The Monte Carlo cheek piece wouldn't allow me to get into the sights so I shaved it off. Looks much better to me, but I still need to get rid of that white line on the forend tip. I thought about scoping it with a base from Kraghaus that uses the existing barrel sight holes, but haven't got around to it. Yet. I have a vintage Redfield EER scope that would work good for that.

Ringing a gong at 200 yards is not to difficult. Won't shoot groups like this all the time, but often enough to keep things interesting. Just a fun rifle.
